ICE-21 GCC

Innovation Challenge for Entrepreneurship 2021

(Go to ICE-21 UK)

ICE-21 is a virtual competition on Innovation and Entrepreneurship for all University students – no matter what subject you study or how tech savvy you are. You will have the opportunity to work with other students, develop your ideas, be mentored by leading employers, win prizes and so much more..... Check out what participants in our previous hackathons have to say!

You will collaborate virtually with your team to finalise a business plan in the first 3 weeks of March. A panel of judges will then select the top teams to develop prototypes of their ideas over 3 days in early-April (details below). Download your information booklet for more details.
